The Vessel Resounded With the Shrieks of the Doomed Passengers. By the Associated Press. London, Jan. 30. A dispatch from Lloyd's agent at Lowestoft confirms the report of the sinking of the Elbe through a collision about 5:30 a. m. today. The Elbe it appear had about two hundred steerage passengers and a crew of about 180. The morning was heavy and misty and the Bteamer was only making the usual time and keeping the ordinary lookout. Suddenly a steamer was sighted off the port bow of the Elbe and before a collision could be averted the unknown vessel had run into the Elbe. The Elbe was struck above the engine room and began to fill bo rapidly that there was only time to lower three boats and one of these was swamped shortly after getting away from tbe steamer. The first boat contained the third officer, the chief engineer, the purser and about twenty passengers. As far as can be learned at present the people landed are being cared for at various places and it is difficult to gather accurate details of the disaster at this hour. The occupants of the first boat were picked up by a couple of fishing smacks and were taken to Lowestoft i where they have been landed. It has been found difficult to get the officers of the steamship to make any statement until they have communicated with the agents of the Elbe, and the passengers who have been rescued are as yet too excited to tell any but rambling stories, 'hut from what can be gathered a very short time must have elapsed between the collision and the sinking of the Elbe. Nothing is known as to the fate of the occupants of the third boat loaded from the Elbe. From what one man said the disaster must have been one of the most terrible in the history of such catastrophies. All the passengers are OS. ING STORE. Labor Office. understood to have been below and asleep at the time the collision occurred and nearly all must have been drowned below or have met death while rushing to the upper deck. Women and children went down without hardly being able to ntter a prayer. The ship resounded with heartrending cries from all quarters, although the officers seemed to be doing all they could to calm the people. A number of people were drowned as they jumped inU the sea and swam after the boats. Shortly after the boats pulled away the Elbe gave a fearful lurch sidewise and sank with a bursting sound. Nothing is known of tbe vessel that ran into her. It is thought that at least 300 persons were drowned. HE'S BUILDING A TOWN. A Crowing Obstruction on a Railroad Track.

The usual noon recess was taken, after which the members of the court ret rned and Chief Justice Baker speaking for the court said that examination bad been made of the appellant's reply brief and argument and it had been found to be scurrilous and to contain insulting and offensive language toward the opposing counsel, litigant and witnesses. It was therefore ordered that ihe brief be withdrawn, that it be stricken from the files and that the records be Durged of it. The document is a formidable one both in magnitude and matter and tbe signatures of appellant's attorneys, E. E. Sloan, L. H. Chalmers, H. Z." Zuck and A. J. Daggs are appended thereto.
